Russia and Uganda Abolish Visa Requirements for Holders of Diplomatic Passports
Published
Russia and Uganda have signed an agreement to abolish the visa regime for holders of diplomatic and service passports. The document makes travel between the two countries easier for official representatives of the states.
Under the agreement, citizens of Russia and Uganda who hold diplomatic or service passports may enter the territory of the other country without a visa. This also applies to short-term trips related to work. Such trips are usually needed for meetings, negotiations and participation in official events.
The abolition of the visa regime for this category of citizens shows that the two countries are developing their relations. The agreement usually enters into force after ratification and official notification by the parties. Details about the timing of its entry into force are not specified in the news report.
For ordinary tourists and those travelling for private purposes, the rules do not change. They still need to apply for a visa in accordance with current requirements. Before travelling, it is recommended to check up-to-date information on the website of the embassy or consulate.
